What a beautiful witness for Jesus this woman was. Her soul was in every word. Now she is home with God in Heaven and yet with her music she is still blessing people here.
🎉 Rest in peace and birthday wishes to Ethel Waters 10 31 This woman of God shines in her acting, and her heart felt gospel singing. I enjoy the film Pinky it feels like home with her. Rest in Respect
Wonderful! Cliff Barrows did something very wonderful after she sang. It is something we could use more of today. Billy Graham was about to preach. He put his finger to his lips to hush the applause. Church today is a concert - - a show. They took the pulpit down and even call the platform a "stage." They stick a garage band up there and douse the lights like a night club. People act accordingly. Mrs Waters was accustomed to applause. She had been a movie star! But when God saved her, He gave her a new heart... a heart that was only concerned with making God happy. She only wanted His applause.
@@ABCDuwachui As the music ministry conductor, God gave Barrows the authority by God to hush the audience. Probably, Barrows, the Professional that he is, knows when to hush an audience to keep the program on track, when it needs to be on track. @amospressley, we should all be on the track the Lord has for us, good point. However, what's neat about today's musical ministries is that they allow many different skills to be assembled together to elevate the performance with all of the giftings and talents the Lord has given us. The youth, who's trying to make sense of this nonsensical world, but is learning the soundboard to make sure audio checks are 10, the widow who runs propresenter to feed the word up on the screen for the newcomer to sing, the short man whose struggle I'll never know is able to support planing the team and guiding the newbies to their positions. The integration with instruments and the music makers. In some ways we are putting on a concert to glorify the Lord, and if that is true we should be very cautious on chalking up all sophisticated modern musical worship as a concert that isn't glorifying God. I actually think there are more hoops to jump through to get a thousand singer to hum, then any popular Christian concert-a thousand personalities who can sin a easy as you or I, and getting that to work lol. I've thought similarly as you have about the gap in reverence until I actually stepped up to help, and then I realized there's a lot of Godly people putting their heart an soul into the musical ministry and their performances. Is there a time for acapello? Absolutely. Is there a time for order? Ask the Lord if you don't know. Is there a time for reverence? Yes. Is there a time for silence? Yes, and a time to speak. God's wisdom guides us, and that is what is interesting.
Ethel Waters was the first famous singer I heard when as a young child I attended the Billy Graham crusades in Boston Garden with my family. I immediately fell in love with her beautiful voice & delightful personality. 🤗
So full of the Joy of our Lord! I agree and have prayed fervently for a global revival less than 2days ago... Yes, the world is in quite a state.. But, when I read your comments here, as on other 'sites', I can't wait to one day meet you all, see you! What a day, indeed, that will be! Now I'm returning to: His eye is on the sparrow.. Grow weary and go sleep - but *never* give up and turn away, we've come too far, and He, in whose sight and Hand we are, is faithful to the end (or shall I say: to the Beginning!?) 🌺✝️🌺 Yes, HE IS!!
Awww, Luv luv luv when The Choir kicks in... Feels like I'm listening to 100, 1000, or 100.000.00 angels singing out loud to our Almighty God in their best voices..... 0f course, ALWAYS in their best voices. "It's what angels d0 best" lol Can't wait to hear A Really real choir of angels singing n praising to our beautiful creator up front and personal. I hope to join them in praise! After all, he deserves nothing less. Glory glory glory to GOD in the highest!
OH HOW FAR WE HAVE STRAYED FROM TRUE ANOINTED GOSPEL MUSIC 🎶 DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST WE SAINTS WHO KNOW HIM NEED TO GET BACK TO SUCH TRUE CLEAN N ANOINTED WORSHIP N PRAISE FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS LOOKING 👀FOR THOSE WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN TRUTH N IN SPIRIT ❤️🙏🏽📖🙏🏽❤️
I am thankful to see the legendary Ethel Waters debut performance of her classic rendition of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow,” with the Billy Graham Crusade In 1957. She was around 60 years old and around 300 lbs at the time. And nearly twenty years later in 1976 she was still singing the song at the Crusade, despite her many health problems. Thankfully that performance was also uploaded on RUclips. One of Americas greatest entertainers.
Sounds like you've pulled a testimony together that most haven't thought of, to physically carry more weight, at that age, and still performing concerts, all together (health problems) shows her faithfulness to the Lord. Culturally it's easy to wince at someone's weight being stated because it lands in that quasi-privacy/health category...
I was around 8 years old when I fell in love with Ethel Waters' voice. There was a heavy snowstorm outside and the only thing on TV was an old movie called Cabin in the Sky.
Dieses Lied ist für meinen Onkel Fritz Kolp Bruder meiner Mutter Annemarie ich wstelle mir vor wie du jetzt endlich wieder bei deinem Vater bist Wilhem Kolp und Magareta Kolp Eure Cosine aus Köln Ehrefeld G.strasse
@@John-ok4zh She balances the power of the choir and her song gifting. God then magnified this song's message beyond what they could all do individually.
After all these years, I still love to hear her sing this song. I've been singing it all day, so I thought I would see if I could hear her sing it again. What an angel!
The first time I heard this song was the recorded version by Whitney Houston, but this version sung by this lady brought me such a special and comforting feeling, which I don't know how to explain... well, apart from her beautiful voice, anyway. , amen to that!! And may God have her with him in his glory. beautiful song. 🙏
Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heav’n and home; When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is he; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. Refrain: I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free; For his eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on his goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path he leadeth, But one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain] Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise; When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him, From care he sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain]
I respect the Lady very much. She came up through great tribulation.
This is everybody’s Grandmom. God has blessed us! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
One of my Grandma’s favorite songs ! 😢😂🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing this song, because I love and miss my grandma so much 😔
Just…… simply…… BRILLIANT ❤ RIP MY SISTER IN CHRIST JESUS🙏🏿
Special lady singing a special song. How can we make this special time happen again?
What a beautiful witness for Jesus this woman was. Her soul was in
every word. Now she is home with God in Heaven and yet with her music she is still blessing people here.

Filled my eyes with tears.
She is full of Gods Holy spirit, what a delivery.
This song and Ms. Waters is a great comfort for me.
Every knee shall bow to God to include the beast
My favorite song NO one could sing it like Miss Waters. 😢❤🙏🙏😇😇
What a witness of God is she with this song 👍🏾🙂

So you equate reverence for the spoken word of God with silence. Interesting.

It's unnecessary to include her weight.
I believe it is, just watched it on YT.
Sounds like you've pulled a testimony together that most haven't thought of, to physically carry more weight, at that age, and still performing concerts, all together (health problems) shows her faithfulness to the Lord. Culturally it's easy to wince at someone's weight being stated because it lands in that quasi-privacy/health category...
@@JamesEidexactly, the original poster was quoting her literal testimony from another video.
I was around 8 years old when I fell in love with Ethel Waters' voice. There was a heavy snowstorm outside and the only thing on TV was an old movie called Cabin in the Sky.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sooooo remarkable ❤
His eye is on the sparrow watching over me!!!!!!
She has such a beautiful alto voice and sings with such emotion. Thank you.
Sis Ethel's singing was straight from the heart!!! She was a Godly woman!!! Praise Jesus!!!
Who can't love this woman?
Her and Mahalia Jackson!
@@ABCDuwachui I'll add her to the listen list, although I probably have some of her in one of the many blues compilations, great call out. TY!
That smile! :)
God bless you forever. We kip loving you momy. A bless song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
What a reminder of what we all need to be reminded of now and then. Now, more than ever.
How awesome is this song and its delivery by Ethel Waters! Thank you for bringing these old recordings up! These were the magical times...

AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME !!!!!!!
Most beautiful song i have ever heard
Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heav’n and home; When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is he; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me.
Refrain: I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free; For his eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on his goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path he leadeth, But one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain]
Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise; When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him, From care he sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain]

Goosebumps on the click... 🙂
And me
Annointed
✝️
She is singing to God not the audience and she looks up God as she sings 🙏🙏
In our craft, we should all be singing to God. It's the secret sauce 🙂
He was watching .

Fyi
ICYMI,
What is the price of two sparrows-one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
Too moving
Beautiful
